"Damn it, I've been surpassed again, pay more!"

"But... woooo."

Zhou Qing directly blocked An Lang's mouth, preventing her from speaking.

You are making so much noise that people who don't know would think you are spending money. I'm not that excited even when I'm paying.

Staring at the numbers jumping on the jade disk, Zhou Qing also had a headache.

There are many people who need ancient stone liquid. This treasure is indeed precious, and the key is that it is rare, which directly increases its value.

The starting price was 200,000 low-grade Yuan Crystals, and now it has reached 690,000.

All I can say is that fortunately Zhou Qing had the foresight to exchange a batch of Yuan Crystals with Xuandu Temple in advance.

Of course, 690,000 low-grade Yuan Crystals, if converted into high-grade Yuan Crystals, would be 20,000 to 30,000 yuan. With Zhou Qing's wealth, he could definitely afford it.

The Yuan Crystals Zhou Qing uses on a daily basis are top-grade, and the Yuan Crystals he exchanges with Xuandu Temple are also top-grade. This is the benefit of being the ninth true disciple.

It was also because the quality of the Yuan Crystals on his body was very high, so that time at the Ming Ancient Divine Mountain, he was able to drive the Six Extreme Warship even though the number of Yuan Crystals was not particularly large.

If quantity is not enough, quality can make up for it.

When someone quoted the price to 700,000, Venerable Tong Yuan said, "If any fellow Taoist has a treasure that can prolong life in the Yin God Realm, then the fellow Taoist who consigned the ancient stone liquid is willing to trade with him first."

This is a special requirement. After all, if it is only used for cultivation, the number of Yuan Crystals that can be consumed every day is limited.

If there is no special use, then when the number of Yuan Crystals reaches a certain level, it is better to exchange them for other treasures.

After this request was made by Venerable Tongyuan, the price quoted for the jade disk temporarily stopped.

This is different from Yuan Jing. No one can just make a quote without thinking about it. You still have to consider it.

"The treasure that prolongs life in the Yin God Realm..."

Zhou Qing pondered, he actually had quite a few of these items, some that could extend one's life by several years, dozens of years, or even decades.

He himself can't use it, and neither can the people around him. Moreover, it can be foreseen that he will continue to obtain various life-extending treasures in the future, so there is no problem in using it to buy the ancient stone liquid.

But if you take out a treasure that can prolong your life in exchange, then the number of Yuan Crystals given will naturally be reduced.

After thinking for a while, Zhou Qing entered the information.

[A magical pill that can extend your life by five years]

Then he was surpassed by a rare treasure that could extend one's life by seven years. Without saying a word, Zhou Qing raised the price again.

[A magical pill that can extend your life by ten years]

Now no one made a bid, and finally Venerable Tong Yuan announced that the ancient stone liquid belonged to the Jiamao box.

Murong Yanran reminded him, “Junior brother, such a magical pill is very valuable. You should be careful when trading with the other party and not give him another 700,000 yuan crystal.”

Zhou Qing nodded, "Don't worry, Senior Sister Murong, I understand."

Seven hundred thousand yuan of crystals is the price paid purely with Yuan crystals. If Yuan crystals and Shoubao are exchanged together, it certainly cannot be calculated as seven hundred thousand yuan of crystals.

You have to reduce the money! This transaction will last for a long time. Not only Zhou Qing made a bid, but Murong Yanran and others also participated in the bidding and bought what they needed.

However, due to financial resources and cost-effectiveness, they were able to buy some of the items, but for others, they could only say they had no chance of getting them because they were bought by other people.

But this situation is normal. After all, it is impossible for you to buy everything you want in a trade fair.

The same was true for Zhou Qing. He had tried several times, but was not always satisfied.

The prices of some things were too high, but they were not necessities for Zhou Qing. Seeing that the prices were too high, of course he couldn't just follow the price mindlessly. If he really followed the price to the bottom, he would become a sucker.

It is worth mentioning that the last of the treasures needed to cultivate the second level of the original combat body also appeared at the trade fair and was bought directly by Zhou Qing.

In this way, after he has cultivated basic combat power, he will be able to seamlessly transition to the minor combat body.

Practicing martial arts like the original combat body is really different from other types of martial arts.

It takes time for you to comprehend the method of forging a combat body, and it takes time again to refine the treasures and begin tempering them.

Zhou Qingyue acquired this martial art at the beginning of the month, and it is already the end of the month, but he has not yet completely cultivated his combat body.

But fortunately, it will be soon.

"The great and ever-bright lamp."

At this time, Venerable Tongyuan introduced another treasure.

"This is a rare treasure from the All Saints Academy, refined by a master of the Azure Realm who has mastered the Haoran Qi."

Zhou Qing's eyes lit up.

"certainly."

Venerable Tong Yuan smiled and said, "This item is definitely not a treasure from the Azure Sky, otherwise it should have appeared in Wanxing City."

Many people in the box laughed when they heard this.

Generally speaking, except for Wanxing City and the Wanxing Chamber of Commerce in the capitals of the Three Kingdoms, it is very rare for the Wanxing Chamber of Commerce in other places to have treasures of the Biluotongtian level. The earth-level treasures are the upper limit.

This is related to some strategies of the Wanxing Chamber of Commerce, and also because the treasures in the heavenly realm in the world are already top-notch and extremely rare.

Venerable Tong Yuan then introduced: "To the person who refined this treasure, this lamp is just a small gadget, but its preciousness is beyond doubt."

"Putting this lamp beside you during cultivation can calm your mind and eliminate distracting thoughts. This lamp can also be used in battle. After infusing it with power, it can activate the noble spirit within."

Speaking of this, the smile on Venerable Tong Yuan's face deepened.

"If I can often personally experience the mystery of the righteousness, maybe there is a small chance that I can comprehend this kind of power?"

"Of course, the probability of this happening is very small. The Haoran Eternal Light cannot guarantee that a person will comprehend the Haoran Qi. I believe there is no such treasure in the entire world."

“This is just empty talk.”

Zhou Qing smiled and shook his head, "How can I comprehend the great energy with just a lamp?"

Cao Yinyin smiled and said, “So Master Tongyuan only said it was a possibility, and emphasized that the probability was very small.”

"It's just a rhetoric."

Looking at the Haoran eternal lamp, Zhou Qing's eyes showed a thoughtful look.

"Brother, do you want to buy this lamp?"

Murong Yanran said: "Pay attention to this. Regardless of whether you have the noble spirit or not, it is impossible to comprehend any means from such a treasure."

"As for any Haoran treasure that leaks out, the Saints Academy has restrictions on it, and it is impossible to use it to spy on the Haoran Qi inheritance."

Zhou Qing shook his head. "I don't plan to buy it. I just thought that the Haoran Treasure looks very valuable. Maybe I can get a few to sell in the future if I have the chance."

“…”

Murong Yanran and the others were speechless.

Very good, the idea is very good. You have found a feasible way to make money that few people can imitate.

“Although this is not a rare treasure made using the method of refining a divine weapon, its grade is almost the same as that of a divine weapon.”

"Fellow Daoists, please make your bids."

Zhou Qing watched the people in various boxes compete for the Haoran Eternal Lamp and saw the price soaring. He truly realized how precious the Haoran treasure was.

The main reason is that the power of Haoran Qi is too special and it brings too many positive benefits to practitioners.

It seems that he does have a gold mine.

But there is a problem, how to refine the Haoran Treasure?

Should I do it the same way as normal treasure refining, and infuse the noble spirit at the last moment? It shouldn't be that simple...

"The puppet core is a treasure from the Puppet Sect. After being refined into a puppet, it can provide the puppet with energy for movement."

Another treasure was brought up.

"After the energy of the puppet core is exhausted, it can be slowly restored and can supply the consumption of the True Blood Puppet at most. For fellow Taoists who practice the Way of Puppetry, this is a rare treasure."

Zhou Qing said to himself, "This thing is of some use to me."

He also has a similar treasure, but it is called Golden Elixir.

But when I used that ordinary real blood puppet in the past, the golden elixir was more than enough to provide energy.

But now he has obtained the Six Spirit Puppet. Although he has transferred his golden elixir to the Six Spirit Puppet, the level of this puppet is too high. The golden elixir cannot supply enough energy, and the continuous fighting time is greatly reduced.

After all, the golden elixir is not something that drops during the reward bonus period, and the upper limit is only at the normal Venerable level.

So, Zhou Qing took action and joined the competition for the Puppet Core.

If the energy from one golden elixir is not enough, then add another puppet core and use two methods at the same time!

Being able to extend the fighting time of the Six Spirit Puppets is of great significance to Zhou Qing.

In the end, Zhou Qing successfully got the puppet core.

A broken but practicable lower-level martial art, an earth-level elixir, and an earth-level artifact!

All the things were good, but they had nothing to do with Zhou Qing and the others. They could only watch the masters from all sides compete and the Yellow Spring Liquid splash out.

When the last earth artifact was traded, Venerable Tong Yuan smiled and announced that the Wanxing Trade Fair was a complete success, and thanked all fellow Taoists for their support.

"Those of you who have gained something from this trade fair, please wait a moment. Someone will hand it over to you."

Not long after, someone knocked on the door of Jiamao Box, and after getting permission, someone walked in.

It turned out to be Xue Gui, the manager of Wanxing Chamber of Commerce whom Zhou Qing met during the day.

Xue Gui smiled and said, "Hello, distinguished guests. I have brought all the items you purchased."

She placed all the items on the table in front of Zhou Qing and the others.

"Please count the items, distinguished guests."

Please...collect 6_9_book_bar (Six//Nine//Book//bar)

After checking and confirming that everything was correct, Zhou Qing and his team handed over the money and the goods, completing the transaction.

Needless to say, reducing the amount of crystals spent on purchasing the ancient stone liquid is a natural and reasonable thing to do.

"Have a good time, distinguished guests."

Xue Gui personally sent Zhou Qing and the others out, and they did not meet anyone else on the way until they walked out of the Wanxing Chamber of Commerce.

In this way, things like killing people and stealing treasures will naturally be put to an end.

You don't even know who won the treasure, where can you go to get it? After leaving the Wanxing Chamber of Commerce, Zhou Qing and his friends did not stay in Xueshan City for long, but went directly back to the Xueshan Sect to rest.

Zhou Qing was sitting alone in the room, lost in thought.

"The golden finger will be refreshed at twelve o'clock tomorrow night..."

Zhou Qing thought about this in his heart.

From entering the Yin-Yang Cave at the beginning of the month, to heading to the Ming Ancient Divine Mountain later, and now arriving at the Snow Mountain Sect, in the blink of an eye, a month is about to pass.

This golden finger of [Seeking Good Luck and Avoiding Evil] did bring him considerable benefits and helped him to survive a disaster. It was a very useful golden finger.

“I don’t know what the cheat code for next month will be. I hope it will be useful.”

After a night, the morning light shone on the snow-capped mountains, turning the white snow into golden color.

Today is the day when the Snow Festival begins.

The free trading area on the ninth floor of Snow Mountain City and last night’s Ten Thousand Stars Trade Fair were certainly not the main events of the Hanxue Festival, but merely derivative activities of the festival.

The grand event hosted by the Snow Mountain Sect that invited all parties could not be just such a small event. If that were the case, then why did they invite all parties?

Zhou Qing and other Xuandu disciples gathered on the open space on the top of the snow mountain, waiting for the arrival of people from the Snow Mountain Sect.

The one-day snow festival is divided into two parts.

The first part is related to the masters of various forces.

The Snow Mountain Sect invited the Snow Clan and masters from various human races who could represent their own sects to gather here, and then they would gather together to discuss many things.

For example, if Xuandu Temple needs certain resources from the Ten Thousand Snow Mountains, it will communicate directly with the masters of the Snow Clan at the Cold Snow Festival.

The two parties set conditions, and then in the following period of time, the Snow Clan continued to provide certain resources to Xuandu Temple to meet the needs of Xuandu Temple.

In return, Xuandu Temple also has to pay something to meet the needs of the Snow Clan.

Alternatively, human forces will directly send some disciples to study somewhere in the Ten Thousand Snow Mountains in the future.

The Snow Tribe will do the same, learning from each other's strengths.

It can be said that both sides benefit mutually.

The Snow Festival is actually like a platform for the major forces of the two tribes.

The platform built by the Snow Mountain Sect, a trustworthy middleman with close ties to both tribes, allows the two tribes to communicate peacefully and more efficiently, meet their own needs, and solve each other's problems.

Many issues can be resolved on this platform, which is very beneficial for both ethnic groups and their respective sects, and can promote their own development.

For some resources unique to the Ten Thousand Snow Mountains, it would be more efficient to send people to sneak into the Ten Thousand Snow Mountains to look for them than to directly cooperate and trade with the Snow Clan.

Although this requires some cost, it is worth it for the major sects.

The resources needed by a sect are not small. You don't need to pay the Snow Clan if you send people in to look for them, but when will you be able to find all the resources? That would be too troublesome.

Harmony brings wealth, and development is the bottom line!

There are forces within the Ten Thousand Snow Mountains that are hostile to the human race, and vice versa.

However, such a force would never appear at the Snow Festival.

This part is the business of the top leaders of the major forces, and they are responsible for communication. The disciples who come with them will not be directly involved.

The second part of the Snow Festival is related to the accompanying disciples.

This event is held irregularly, and the reason for holding it is actually a strange place called Fengxue Valley inside the gate of the Snow Mountain Sect.

It was a very long valley, filled with heavy snowstorms, but these snowstorms were magical and contained a special power.

This kind of power can cleanse the practitioner's body and soul, making them extremely pure, as holy as ice and snow, and more in harmony with nature.

At the same time, it can also refine one's own true essence and soul power.

Under the blowing of the blizzard, it seemed as if all the impurities in the energy were blown away, making the energy in the body more pure and more resilient.

There is no doubt that both effects are significant, equivalent to improving strength and even enhancing potential.

But the magical power in the Wind and Snow Valley has another greatest function, which is to increase the speed of cultivation.

As long as you persist in the Snow Wind Valley for a certain period of time and completely complete the Snow Wind Body Purification, then in the next year, your cultivation speed will increase by 10%.

Practicing for ten days after Fengxue Jingti is equivalent to practicing for eleven days before.

The increase is not large, but it can be maintained for a whole year.

Over time, after a year, you will have cultivated for a month longer than others out of thin air! This is very meaningful.

The disciples accompanying the major forces are all young people, and the younger they are, the more precious their time is.

After a year, you will have one month more "time" than others. This is not only an advantage in terms of cultivation progress, but also in terms of vitality and lifespan. This is a kind of leadership.

However, a person can only perform the Fengxue body purification once in his lifetime, which is quite regrettable.

Because of these magical effects, the people of the Snow Mountain Sect called the magical power in the Wind and Snow Valley the God-given secret power.

Wind and Snow Valley is a gift from God, which gives people more opportunities, so some people call it Heaven-given Valley.

The God-given secret power in the Snow Wind Valley will be consumed, but will also be accumulated.

When the blizzard in the valley is extremely intense, forming a blizzard ocean, and every space in the sky and on the ground, in all directions, is filled with wind and snow, that is also when the God-given secret power is the most intense.

At this time, the Snow Mountain Sect would invite people from all over to hold a snowy event.

Then, when the accompanying disciples enter the Snow Wind Valley and absorb all the God-given secret power, the blizzard in the valley will dissipate and begin to accumulate again, waiting for the next blizzard ocean to reappear, and this cycle will repeat over and over again.

Entering the Wind and Snow Valley and accepting the secret power bestowed by heaven is a snowy event for Zhou Qing and his accompanying disciples.

With such benefits, Zhou Qing immediately made up his mind to come here after learning the specific details of the Snow Festival.

With his cultivation speed, he can cultivate one month longer than others in a year. This is of great significance.

You have to come.

Entering the Snow Valley will also affect another part of the Snow Festival.

The deeper you go into the Snow Wind Valley, the more violent and terrifying the blizzard will be, which is a great test for disciples who want to go deeper.

It can be seen from the divine power that this is not an ordinary blizzard, so it also poses a great threat to practitioners.

At the same time, the deeper you go, the stronger the divine power will be. If you can go through the Windy Snow Valley, the effect of wind and snow purifying the body will be even better.

But this is so difficult.

How far each disciple can go in the Wind and Snow Valley is also a contest for the masters of each sect.

If the disciples of Xuandu Temple go the furthest, then in all the cooperation between Xuandu Temple and the Snow Clan, the Snow Clan will have to make certain concessions, and vice versa.

Or maybe the disciples of a certain force of the Snow Clan are the farthest away, and the disciples of Xuandu Temple are the second farthest away. Then when cooperating with this force of the Snow Clan, Xuandu Temple will have to make concessions, but those forces of the Snow Clan whose disciples lag behind those of Xuandu Temple will still have to make concessions to Xuandu Temple.

These are the complete rules and procedures of the Snow Festival.

It may seem a bit hasty to let the competition between disciples affect the cooperation, but for the various forces participating in the event, some concessions are acceptable, and in the end they still get what they want.

And it is impossible to make concessions that would actually result in a huge loss, it is more of a way of wishing for a good start.
